Fred Reed recently used the term Permanently Disadvantaged Minorities. How perfect a concept is that to mock affirmative action?

LA replies:

Yes, we can get a chuckle out of it. But there is a downside. Given the egalitarian beliefs that enjoy unchallenged sway over the modern West, the fact that those minorities are permanently disadvantaged means (as I said in 1994) that we are obligated, until the end of time, to exhaust our wealth and spiritual energy in a hopeless effort to make them collectively equal with ourselves.
